About Us

Founded in 1997, Sustainable Harvest Coffee Importers is a Portland, Oregon-based green coffee broker providing top roasters in North America and Europe with the highest quality certified organic and fair trade specialty coffee. The company is dedicated to improving coffee supply chain practices by pioneering a new paradigm for global trade called Relationship Coffee and reinventing the purpose and actions of the middleman by building systems for transparency and traceability. Sustainable Harvest was the first, and remains the largest of all coffee importers to source exclusively from samll family farmers and cooperatives, and currently purchases from over 100,000 growers in 15 countries. The company commercializes a large percentage of all fair trade and organic coffee sold in the world, while continuing to invest nearly half of its operating income back into farmer training and supplier-related activities.
